Not having to file each gear, grind the spine plate, align all the gears, etc. is probably a big part of that.SnoopMaxx wrote:I have a black 10T nose plate and black RPM 10T a arms and now I can finally get a black chassis and motor plate![]()
And I got one RC10 Classic on order
I always wanted one of the early ones, but the 6 gear hassle had me think twice ...
However
I didn't have to think twice ...I didn't think at all...When the Classic was released
I agree. The perfection of Tamiya kits has spoiled me for decades so I'm even less tolerant of any assembly issues now. Those fit and finish issues were something most people probably didn't want to have to deal with and neither do I. I never actually knew about the hassles of the original 6-gear until recently reading about them here so I'm glad I never got an original back in the day. I'll be interested to see how my re-re goes together.
